The New Year has been mostly positive till I woke to news of a Youtuber filming a suicide. This is the definition of callous. It’s heartless, insensitive and borderline sociopathic. The young man who shall remain nameless reportedly apologized. I hope he learned a valuable lesson. Life is precious and if someone is suicidal, they deserve our empathy, prayers and common human decency. Such a sad story but valuable lesson. As someone who has a family member suffering from mental illness this definitely hits home.

I would still be staring off into space without you, Marianne. I am so grateful for this challenge!

Here is my contribution. I enjoyed this prompt! I don't normally write darker themes, so it was a nice change of pace.

Callous.
